Using the Optical Disc Printer with Windows 19
Image Size
The Image Size box has two choices. The default is Optical
Disc for printing onto lacquer-finish CD-Rs, DVD-Rs or other
120mm round optical discs. This option allows a 113mm x
113mm (4.449") radius circle image to be printed. Please note
that the actual image size is 113mm square, but the printer
driver software will clip it to fit the disc. It will also
automatically take out an inside radius circle of 45mm (1.77").
The inside radius diameter can be changed within the Calibrate
tab in the driver set-up.
Printable-surface discs formulated for ink-jet printing are not
suitable for printing by the Optical Disc Printer. Also keep in
mind that many formulations of lacquer are used on different
brands of media . Some may be more compatible than others
with the Optical Disc Printer.
The other choice is
Custom . By selecting this option, you can
specify the print area for a custom-sized media such as
business card shape CD-Rs or 80mm mini-discs.
The adjustment range is from 63.5mm (2.5") up to 114mm
(4.488"). It is a good idea to set the media to Custom from the
printer driver Properties in the Printers Folder before starting
your design software application software. To change the
Custom page size, select Custom from the Media Type drop
down box in the Media tab and a size adjustment dialog will
appear. Enter your print dimensions in increments of .001" or
.01mm. Select inches or millimeters with the appropriate
button.
